It's a great game, I thoroughly enjoy it even though I'm not too great at it :lol:.

Thing is there are so many levels to it, beginners can play. decent players, masters, and still always there is nothing definite.

Its like a combination of sport, art, science all rolled into one depending on the circumstances and the game being played.

Love it.

My problem is my compulsive gung-ho nature, it's my downfall - I need to concentrate on what the other player is doing more :neutral:.

Somebody said, cant remember who exactly, might have been David Bronstein who drew with the world champ but never became outright world champion -

"better to have a bad plan and continue with it than to have no plan at all"

wise words. maybe.
 
There were some expert chess players in reception when I was checking into a hotel recently. They seemed obsessed with chess and were talking loudly about various contests they had won. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.
 
I used to play when I was a kid but haven’t had a proper game of chess in about ten years.
Last time I played chess was when I taught my Mrs.

I fool's mated her three times in a row, she kicked off about me being an expert (I'm shite), then decided it was shit.

was there a tournament going on in the hotel?

if so was probably some assorted bunch of would be's.

Most chess players are decent people not like that, please dont judge all on that unfortunate experience.
